“I’ve always felt that having a garden is like having a good and loyal friend.”

- C. Z. Guest

Architect Peter Pennoyer’s conviction of design is that historical examples of architecture are a springboard for the imagination and offer compelling solutions for new architecture. The principles of design of the surrounding gardens and landscape should follow the same conviction. In their book, A HOUSE IN THE COUNTRY, Peter Pennoyer and designer wife Katie Ridder’s collaborative effort in their home in Millbrook, NY, beautifully exemplifies how this symbiotic relationship between inside and out creates an extraordinary partnership. Whether it be a simple potager, a delightful parterre, or a formal strolling garden, the garden must complement the architecture of the home and invite you in to explore its delights. The following properties offered for sale by Private Brokerage feature gardens that beckon to be explored and savored.
